As many of you know, I have recently started taking sponsors here at French Press Knits. What I didn't expect was to meet so many new fiber-y sorts in the process of choosing sponsors. It is more than a pleasure to introduce you to the Sunnie Fairy shop on Etsy.
Andrea started her shop on Etsy over two years ago- and you wanna know what's really cool about that? This is Andrea now:
Andrea is a teenager from Southern California with an entrepreneurial spirit. When Andrea started her Etsy shop a couple years ago she sold crocheted stuffed toys that she personally designed. Somewhere along the way she added to her fiber repertoire when she began spinning. She had discovered a new passion and wanted the opportunity to share it with others.
In Andrea's shop, you will find top whorl drop spindles, bottom whorl drop spindles, and learn to spin kits. The kits include everything you will need to get started- Drop spindle, roving (in your choice of colors), and detailed instructions to get you started.
To learn more about Andrea, you can find her over at Andrea's Garden where she blogs about things she makes, wears, and likes (make sure you get a glimpse of some of the yarn she has spun- her beautiful color choices makes me want to drop my needles and learn to spin!). I'm not sure how she does it all (she does say that she has great parents who don't mind taking her to the post office when she needs to ship out multiple orders), but I know that in about 13 years I'll be sending Elise her way for a talk about how to run and Etsy shop and still manage middle school/high school!
